Well, getting out there and doing an end of summer check on this iris bed. I have totally lost one iris, Fashion Magic. Not a sign of it left except the marker were it used to be. Other rotters do have new rhizomes growing even if they are small so I guess they will be ok to live.
I spent some time rewritting all my markers for the iris in that bed as they were fading fast. I knew that I would never be able to read them next year. Fading plus what looks like rubbing off. I do find it strange as I use the same type of black marker on my daylilies which lasts two years. I figgure it is because the markers are different from the daylily ones. Those are 8 inch by 1/2 inch white plastic and these are a "T" type were it has space up top in front to write. They are not very big though but more shinny plastic than those other markers.
